Ok, so I thought the time on this thing was 7, guess it's 8. Anyway, the chief had problems in Lumberton and left, got sued in Grand Rapids left and the city paid out millions. He's been causing problems here and now this. He has business interests outside of the department, my question is he using city funds to finance those interests. That should be follow up on. Also, what happened with the daughter's fight. Why was there no interviews with the neighbors who witnessed the event? Come on WRAL, lets do some reporting.

I forget the officer's name who came forward to begin with, with a grievance, but I respect him and wish I had the backbone he does to speak out.

To go on TV and address something that really affects him, speaks to his character, as a person. GOOD FOR HIM!

Two marked RPD cars sit talking to each other on Poole Rd, outside the city limits regularly during the day. They sit driver's door to driver's door away from the road for some time. It's in the shade and they might be on break, but we wondered why they don't make it so they look like they are watching traffic, but then, that spot is outside the city near a satellite community?

I think RPD is good, a lot better than the little city depts.

As for evaluation, then I want some objective data, tempered by subjective measures. Turn the dash-cameras on, use gps data, and have the sgts. review the tapes randomly thru the day and keep records. Why are they not assigning spots for the cars to sit? We have predictive data to do that by.

LEOs are just people like us and need the supervision or many will slack off. The ones that slack off go to the standard ticket spots.

I agree with the officers. A quota is just wrong, no matter how you cut it. Might as well just send arbitrary tickets to random people. A BAD IDEA FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CITIZENS ALIKE.

And for those who are critical of the officers in these grievances: http://city5nc.com/blog/courts-ruling-critical-of-dolan.html http://www.aele.org/peterson03.html http://www.wral.com/news/local/wral_investigates/story/10506207/ http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/1665121/ (yet apparently he doesn't) I'd post more, but running out time. He doesn't appear to be the good leader he claims to be.
